Shipping & Return Policy

Payment is due in full at time of purchase and amount is captured automatically for all online orders. Orders will not be shipped until payment has been cleared. Please contact Porch and Patio at 1-203-799-2329 with further questions regarding payment.

Each order is submitted to the manufacturer and is subject to their current production time and availability. Most manufacturers will take 4-6 weeks to produce your products. For the most current availability time table for a specific product, please contact Porch and Patio at 203-799-2329.

Rule of thumb is if an item is too large or too heavy to be lifted and carried by an average adult without serious trouble, it‘s probably a freight package. Porch and Patio may choose to send items via UPS, USPS, FedEx or common carrier.

Once a product is shipped, the general ship time is approximately 1-10 days depending on what warehouse the item is shipping from.

If you are in the Orange, Connecticut area, feel free to visit our showroom at 363 Boston Post Road, Orange, CT 06477.

Product Warranty

Any and all products are covered under their respective manufacturer’s warranty unless otherwise noted. Any manufacturer warranty begins when the order is processed. Manufacturer warranties do not apply to damaged shipments. For specific warranty details, please visit the manufacturer’s website or contact Porch and Patio.

Shipping Policy: (Continental United States Only)

All orders are shipped at standard rate unless otherwise noted. Standard shipping methods typically take 1-10 business days, but will vary based on shipping and delivery location, weather, package size, and holidays. Orders under $99.99 will incur standard UPS shipping charge.

All UPS shipments do not require signature unless requested by customer at time of order. Deliveries without a signature will be left at the door, porch or garage (at the discretion of deliverer’s judgment, per UPS policy).

Standard LTL Freight Shipments are curbside delivery. Placement of the package under the first threshold of the home (such as in a garage) is at the delivery company’s discretion. Deliveries to condo complexes or high-rise apartments will be delivered to the street entrance. Unpacking, placement of package in backyard, assembly, or packing material removal is not included. These and any other actions beyond standard delivery service are considered “white glove” delivery and are available for an additional cost.

Additional Freight Delivery Services

We are happy to offer additional delivery services to our customers for our larger items. For “white glove” delivery services not included in standard free delivery, please contact Porch and Patio 203-799-2329 within 24 hours of ordering for a specific quote.

Inspecting Freight Shipments

All shipments requiring an adult signature (LTL Freight or high value shipments) MUST be inspected before signing the Bill of Lading. By signing the Bill of Lading (BOL), the customer assumes all responsibility for the shipment and is acknowledging the shipment is in good condition and meets their expectations. Any cost associated with replacing the product damaged in shipping and signed for in good condition will be the customer’s responsibility.

If damage to the product is discovered during inspection, you have the right to REFUSE the shipment and contact Porch and Patio at 203-799-2329 as soon as possible to notify us. Notifying us of a damaged shipment allows us to contact the manufacturer and begin the damage shipping claim much quicker. Should damage be found during the unpacking and/or during assembly of product, please notify Porch and patio immediately.

If customer is unable to inspect the shipment before signing for it for any reason, the customer is to note on the BOL with their signature the following:

“UNABLE TO INSPECT BEFORE SIGNING, SHIPMENT MAY BE DAMAGED”

A digital image might be required to expedite replacement and sent to manufacturer. Any questions regarding inspecting instructions or damaged shipment can be directed to heits23@yahoo.com or please contact us at 203-799-2329.
